Despite a court ruling late last year that blocked the California Age Appropriate Design Code Act (CAADCA) from going into effect in 2024, as scheduled, California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta is pressing forward with an amendment to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) aimed at protecting children’s data.
The Children’s Data Privacy Act (AB 1949), a bill introduced on January 29, 2024, would further amend the CCPA to prohibit businesses from collecting personal data of individuals under the age of 18, unless they receive affirmative authorization (i.e., opt-in consent) to do so.
